Agile Day

Spending a week in Germany is nice, monday morning I went to Mainz for the JAX 2010 and started the first day visiting the Agile Day presentations. Interesting that in every presentation Scrum and XP are part of the keywords.

Also one of the most interesting sentence was the questions Mr. Roock asked his customers when he gets called for a Scrum consulting. He askes customers whether they want Scrum for the complete company or only a single project. Based on his objections bringing Scrum to a project has only a single effect to the project but bringing it to the company provides a much higher productivity afterwards. But this also means that some iterations in the introduced project will fail.
